Florida to Delaware Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Delaware
Jacksonville to Wilmington is about 820 miles up I-95. Orlando is closer to 960, and Naples to Rehoboth Beach is around 1,140. It's two long days of driving.
Delaware's beach towns are full of snowbirds who winter in The Villages, Naples, Sarasota, and Palm Beach, and every spring they ship their cars home to Rehoboth, Lewes, and Bethany. We also ship for airmen moving from MacDill, Hurlburt, and Eglin to Dover AFB, and Floridians taking banking and finance jobs in Wilmington.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to Delaware
Wilmington and northern Delaware loads ride I-95 up the Atlantic coast through Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia, around Washington and Baltimore, and into the state.
Beach-town loads often leave I-95 in Virginia and come up the Delmarva on US-13 after crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, which skips the Beltway entirely. Dover is on US-13, and Rehoboth and Lewes are off DE-1.
Along the Way
- Orlando → Jacksonville~140 mi
- Jacksonville → Florence, SC~305 mi
- Florence → Richmond~285 mi
- Richmond → Wilmington~215 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Florida to Delaware
Snowbird season and beach season shape this route.
Spring Return Rush
March through May, northbound trucks fill up fast. Book two or three weeks ahead for the best rate.
Beach Season
Rehoboth, Lewes, and Bethany are packed on summer weekends. Weekday deliveries go much smoother.
Summer PCS Season
Summer is the busiest time for Dover AFB moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Fall
Trucks heading north in the fall often have open space, which can mean better rates.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Delaware?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and Delaware.
Distance
North Florida is about 820 miles from Wilmington. Southwest Florida is closer to 1,150.
Snowbird Demand
Spring northbound and fall southbound trips cost more. Ship against the flow if you can.
A Busy Lane
I-95 carries plenty of trucks, which keeps prices competitive outside peak weeks.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is popular for classics heading to a beach house.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps a lot during the spring rush.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Delaware-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Delaware
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the Delaware DMV, and the car is inspected at the DMV lane when you register. Check dmv.de.gov for current requirements.
Snowbird Round Trips
Book the spring trip home and the fall trip back together, and we'll plan both around your dates.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen and families moving from MacDill, Hurlburt, Eglin, and Patrick SFB to Dover AFB.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.

Can you pick up from The Villages or another gated community?

Does Delaware require a vehicle inspection?
Yes. Your car is inspected at the DMV when you first register in Delaware.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to Delaware?
Driving 900 to 1,100 miles means two days of I-95 traffic, a hotel night, gas, and tolls. Shipping costs about the same and saves the trip.
Can you ship a car from Delaware back to Florida?
Yes. Request a quote with your Delaware pickup address and your Florida delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
